Very pleased with the two pictures I took over the past weekend.
To many, Memorial Day, the federal U.S. holiday that takes
place every year on the last Monday of May, is just another excuse

the official start of summer and as a day devoted to getting great deals
at the mall. However, the true meaning of Memorial Day
goes far beyond barbecues and mattress sales.
The holiday began after the Civil War, and at that time was known
as “Decoration Day.” While it was originally founded to honor the
soldiers who died in the Civil War, today, Memorial Day is a day

of those who have given their lives for this great nation.

CHEERS!!! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL!!!!
Being an American, it's the way you think
and the way you live...
